Revealing mistake: When Millbarge changes the missile's programming at the last instant, the rocket changes course simply by rotating the shooting frame - and even if it could change course like that, the angle of ascension would be wider than indicated on the bunker base's computer screen.
Spies Like Us (1985)
1 revealing mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Frank Oz, John Landis
Starring: Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, Bruce Davison, William Prince, Donna Dixon, Steve Forrest, Mark Stewart, Sean Daniel
Genres: Comedy
Continuity mistake: After the grenade sets off the box of grenades, and the subsequent explosions demolish the building, Millbarge says "I'll get the horse." Trouble is, throughout all of the gunfire and the explosions, there is no sign of the horse; it would have run off somewhere. When he gets the horse, it's tied up right next to the now demolished building. It would have been killed by the gunfire and/or the explosions.
Austin Millbarge: They're Afghani freedom fighters! They're on our side! WE'RE americans.
Trivia: Bob Hope has a cameo which lasts about 20 seconds. During the nearly endless doctor scene, Hope takes a golf swing through the tent. This movie is an homage to the series of seven "Road to" movies which starred Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. This cameo is Hope's last for the big screen.
Question: Dan Aykroyd tricks the Russians into revealing themselves by saying something in Russian. What does he say specifically?
